Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for providing a polished finish to the surface of a substrate by means of an abrasive article.
- polished finishes are important for surfaces in a variety of industrial applications, such as printing, manufacturing of engine components, machine tools, coating tools, cutting tools, etc.
- a number of technologies require the provision of a polished surface on a workpiece for the proper operation of equipment utilizing the workpiece.
- a polished surface is required in engine components such as journals, crank pins, crank shafts, cam shafts, etc., as well as in knife cutters, printing rolls, etc.
- a polished surface permits accurate cutting, vibration- free operation, low surface-to-surface friction, and long component life.
- Such surfaces can be flat or substantially planar, can be of simple curvature, i.e., having a circular, parabolic, hyperbolic, oval, or elliptical cross section, can be of complex curvatures such as in the surface of a propeller, or such surfaces can have angular edges, e.g., the workpieces can have such shapes as cubes, pyramids, knife edges, etc.
- Conventional abrasive apparatus and abrasive compositions are disclosed in Runge, United States Patent No. 3,710,514, Weber, United States Patent No.
- 5,042,204 discloses a finishing machine having an advanced oscillating head that uses an abrasive film material that produces a consistently precise finish without abrasive tool wear and realignment of the abrasive tools.
- These patents generally relate to devices and abrasives for use in superfinishing rotary crank pins, crank shafts, cam shafts, or for use in finishing cutting tools, aircraft engine blades, printing rolls, etc., to provide a fine surface thereon.

- a preferred shape for the abrasive composite is a pyramid having a rectangular or triangular base, cone, or the like. The shape can be formed through the use of an appropriately shaped tool or can be formed after the structured abrasive article is worn during use. The preferred height for such pyramids or cones ranges from about 50 to about 350 micrometers (from about 2 to about 14 mils) .
- the structured abrasive article can be in the form of a belt, a disk, a sheet, or a flexible tape that is sized so as to be capable of being brought into contact with a workpiece.
- the precisely shaped abrasive composites can be disposed on one or both major surfaces of the backing.

- the disc is secured to a support pad by a mechanical fastener or an adhesive.
- a structured abrasive article in the form of a tape i.e., a two-ended ribbon of the structured abrasive article
- the fresh or unused portion of structured abrasive article is generally unwound from a supply roll and the used or worn portion of structured abrasive article is generally wound onto a take-up roll.
- the tape, the supply roll, and the take-up roll can be housed in a cartridge or cassette.
- the supply roll is typically frictionally retained in the cartridge or cassette so as to not rotate freely so that tension can be maintained to provide consistent feeding and tracking.
- the rate the tape is fed can be precisely controlled by known techniques to optimize the surface finish.
- the take-up roll can be driven by a variable speed D.C. take-up motor.
- the structured abrasive article can be continuously fed through an interface formed by the merger of the abrasive article and the workpiece surface at a rate of from about 0.1 to about 60 cm/minute, preferably from about 5 to about 30 cm/minute.
- the structured abrasive article can also be held stationary and then can be periodically indexed as desired.
- index means to move a machine or a piece of work held in a machine tool so that a specific operation will be repeated at definite intervals of space.
- the structured abrasive article is pressed against the workpiece by means of a support roll or support shoe.
- the support shoe can be a platen, roller, deadhead, or any other device that provides the desired pressure between the structured abrasive article and workpiece at their interface. Pressure can be maintained through the use of hydraulic fluids, air pressure, springs, electrically driven components, etc. The contact force of the structured abrasive article on the surface of the workpiece generated by the support shoe can be precisely controlled, if desired, by known techniques.
- the workpiece can be moved relative to the structured abrasive article in a direction referred to herein as the first abrading direction.
- the structured abrasive article can be moved relative to the workpiece in the first abrading direction. It is possible to move both the workpiece and structured abrasive article simultaneously so long as there is relative movement between the two in the first abrading direction.
- the phrase "the first abrading direction" the following cases of movement in the first abrading direction are provided:
- the axis of a workpiece runs from a first base to a second base and is perpendicular to both bases.
- the precisely shaped abrasive composites of the structured abrasive article are placed in contact with the curved surface of the cylinder and lobe, not with the bases thereof, which bases are in parallel planes and are perpendicular to the axis.
- the precisely shaped abrasive composites are placed in contact with a face of the prism that is a parallelogram.
- the precisely shaped abrasive composites are placed in contact with the rectangular face of the rectangular barstock.
- a typical support can be a wheel, shoe, or platen.
- the structured abrasive article or the workpiece also moves in a direction not parallel to the first abrading direction such that any scratch formed in the first abrading direction is crossed.
- the direction of crossing is called the second abrading direction.
- the second abrading direction can be, but does not have to be, perpendicular to the scratch formed in the first abrading direction so long as the second abrading direction provides some measurable perpendicular component of movement at the interface of the structured abrasive article and the workpiece.
- the expression "measurable perpendicular component” indicates that significant movement in the perpendicular direction is typically present.
- the precisely shaped abrasive composites of the structured abrasive article are forced to cross the existing scratch pattern in the workpiece, with the result that the Ra of the existing scratch pattern is quickly reduced.
- the movement in the second abrading direction may have only a perpendicular component or it may have one component perpendicular to the first abrading direction and one component parallel to the first abrading direction.
- the movement in the second abrading direction is typically a pattern of oscillations at a fixed amplitude such that the abrasive article produces a cross hatched pattern of scratches.
- This cross hatched pattern usually has an Ra less than the Ra of patterns produced with no oscillation.
- the lower Ra corresponds to a more polished surface on the workpiece.
- the most useful criteria is the Ra (roughness average) .
- Ra is a common measure of roughness used in the abrasives industry. Ra is defined as the arithmetic mean of the departures of the roughness profile from the mean line. Ra is measured with a profilometer probe, which is a diamond tipped stylus. It is usually recorded in microinches or micrometers. In general, the lower the Ra, the smoother the finish. Common profilometers include those sold under the tradenames "Surtronic", “Surfcom", and "Perthometer”.
- a liquid coolant or lubricant is generally used in abrading applications.
- the coolant is typically instrumental in removing heat generated at the abrading interface and removing workpiece swarf or debris.
- coolants typically used in abrading operations include water, water with a rust inhibitor, water with a soluble oil, synthetic watersoluble lubricants, and organic oils, such as mineral oil, seal oil, and linseed oil. Selection of the appropriate coolant is well-known to one of ordinary skill in the art and, is usually dependent upon the abrasive article, the workpiece material, desired finishing results, and process limitations.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective depiction of one class of machine that can be used to obtain smooth surface finishes by means of the process of this invention.
- the structured abrasive article is in the form of a tape 51 which is supplied from a tape supply spool 52.
- the tension of the tape 51 is adjusted by means of idler rolls 53.
- the path of the tape is directed by means of drive rolls 54 and pinch rolls 55.
- the first abrading direction is represented by directional arrow Dl.
- Pressure of the tape 51 against the workpiece 57 is provided by urging a support shoe or platen 56 against the back side of the tape 51 toward the surface of the workpiece 57 until the desired interface pressure is achieved.
- the shape of the interface between the tape 51 and the workpiece 57 is dictated by the shape of the contacting surface of the support shoe 56.
- Support shoe 56 directs the precisely shaped abrasive composites of the tape 51 against the workpiece 57.
- load is applied to the tape 51 by means of an air driven cylinder 58 in contact with the back of the support shoe 56.
- the tape 51 can be oscillated at the interface between the tape 51 and the workpiece 57 vertically, horizontally, or at any fixed angle in the plane of the interface between the tape 51 and the workpiece 57.
- the second abrading direction is represented by directional arrow D2. Used tape is recovered on a takeup spool 59.
- an abrasive tape can be converted into an endless belt and used in that manner.
- a structured abrasive article in the form of a tape can be fed, or indexed, at rates ranging anywhere from about 0.01 cm/second LQ about 1 cm/second, preferably from about 0.05 cm/second to about 0.5 cm/second, and faster.
- the faster the indexing of the structured abrasive article, the rougher will be the surface finish, on account of the introduction of fresh, sharp, precisely shaped abrasive composites.
- the structured abrasive article can be in the form of disc or daisy.
- the disc or daisy can be secured to a support pad or back-up pad by a mechanical fastener or chemical bonding.
- the disc or daisy is secured to a support shoe.
- the lens rotates about an axis.
- the disc or daisy can revolve in such a manner that the first abrading direction is in the form of a circle or an ellipse. Additionally, the disc or daisy will be moved in a second direction that crosses the grooves formed in the first abrading direction.
- An exa :>le of such a polishing machine is Rocket Model PP- 1 from Coburn, (Muskogee, OK) .
- Sufficient pressure is applied so that the structured abrasive article abrades or removes a controlled amount of material from the surface of the workpiece to provide a finished surface.
- the amount of pressure at the abrading interface is carefully controlled. If a great amount of pressure is applied, e.g., up to about 700 kilopascals (about 100 pounds per square inch) , the rate of abrasion will be greater, the surface finish on the workpiece will be rougher, and the structured abrasive article will tend to wear faster.
- the rate of abrasion will be lower, the surface finish on the workpiece will be smoother, and the structured abrasive article will, tend to wdar more slowly.
- the specific amount of pressure employed will depend on the particular abrading application, the nature of the workpiece, and the result desired. A pressure of about 3 to 300 kilopascals is typical.
- the structured abrasive article is brought into contact with the surface of the workpiece, e.g., the curved surface of a cylinder.
- the structured abrasive article is moved along the surface of the workpiece in the first abrading direction, while the platen, or shoe, over which the backside of the abrasive article passes is moved from side-to-side.
- the surface of the workpiece Prior to being abraded according to the process of this invention, the surface of the workpiece may have a relatively rough, flat, contoured, or random profile.
- the surface of the workpiece will have a significantly smoother surface finish than was present before abrading. This very smooth finish is characterized by a numerical value, the Ra, that is measured by obtaining a trace profile with a profilometer.
- the method of this invention provides the surface of the workpiece with a smoother or finer finish than can be obtained with a single conventional coated abrasive article utilizing conventional coated abrasive polishing techniques. Additionally, the finer finish can be achieved with far fewer finishing steps than are conventionally required.
- the method of this invention generally provides a predictable, consistent finish over the entire surface of a workpiece. This is preferably accomplished by means of a tape that moves continuously through the interface between the abrasive article and the workpiece.
- Variable parameters involved in providing an optimum finish on the surface of a workpiece include tape or belt speeds that can range from 0 to 60 centimeters per minute, interface contact forces that can range from 0 to 400 Newtons, an oscillation of either the abrasive article or the workpiece at a frequency of from 0 to 1650 cycles per minute, an amplitude of oscillation of from about 0.01 cm to about 15 cm, and the optional use of a coolant and/or lubricant at the interface between the structured abrasive article and workpiece.
- These parameters are selected on the basis of the type of abrasive article, the type and shape of workpiece, and the finish desired. Typical parameters are set forth in "Coated Abrasive Superfinishing: Predictable, Repeatable Texturing of Metal Roll Surfaces" by K.L. Wilke, S.E. Amundson, and R.C. Lokken, Industrial Abrasives

Both FIGS. 6 and 7 show the surfaces of workpieces in the Working Examples reach a polished state more rapidly than do the workpieces in the Comparative Examples and achieve a better overall surface finish, as indicated by a smaller Ra.
- Table 3 shows that the structured abrasive article was able to reduce the surface finish Ra to about one-fifth of that produced by the abrasive article of Comparative Example C, even though both had the same abrasive grain size.
